It's amazing how little people know about rectal surgery...
Hey! It's great to see another Slashdotter with the same hobby as mine!
So, what are your views on anterior modifications of the Delorme procedure, which requires less operative dissection, I personally think it can be performed with results nearly equivalent to those of the established Delorme procedure in the treatment of rectal outlet obstruction secondary to internal intussusception with or without rectocele.

If you bend each finger at the first knuckle, you can have three positions for each finger, allowing you to count to 59,048 in base 3.
You could add in other body parts too, each of them also a base 3 digit. Each wrist straight, bent in, or bent out. Elbow extended, at 90 degrees, or fully bent. Same for each knee. Foot straight, pointed inward, or pointed outward. Eyes open, left closed, or right closed. Neck straight, bent left, or bent right.
Well, a comparative study conducted between October 1997 and May 2001 agrees that overall results for the two procedures are roughly equivalent, so you're in good company.

Its also amazing how many people who use RAID think that RAID-0 is a good idea. Your chances of a array failure are 2^n times greater than with 1 disk where n is the number of disks in the array.

Shouldn't that be 2^(n-1) ?
Its actually 2^n compared to RAID 1

I have a friend who is a nurse. The most advanced procedure she can perform in this area is "digital extraction of fecal impaction."
No, I'm not making that up. And yes, I mean digital in the "base 10" sense!

You know, if we'd just count in base 6, we could count to 35 on our fingers.
Or we could count in binary, and we'd be able to count to 1,023 – but then certain numbers would be "bad"...
